MSc in Medical Ultrasound Full-time/Part-time (specialising in echocardiography, obstetric & gynaecological ultrasound, physics or vascular ultrasound)
Ultraschall in Med 2006; 27
Applications are invited for a full-time one year, or part-time two year course in diagnostic medical ultrasound, specialising in echocardiography, general ultrasound, physics or vascular ultrasound, and leading to the University of London MSc degree in Medical Ultrasound. The course will commence in October 2006, and will provide clinicians and medical scientists with intensive training in both the theoretical basis of the subject and the required scanning and diagnostic skills. The faculty will include many internationally recognised experts in medical ultrasound. The aim of the course is to provide a solid basis in the subject for a range of careers in medical ultrasound including research, investigative services or teaching. The course comprises lectures, seminars, practical demonstrations and training and includes a research project, which will be designed to allow the student to make an original contribution in the chosen area of research. Current research studies are in the uses of contrast agents, three and four-dimensional imaging and image and signal processing. The course will be suitable for applicants with first degree or equivalent in medicine, biological, engineering or physical science or other appropriate subject. Previous experience in medical ultrasound would be an advantage. Informal enquiries to Mr. K. Humphries (Tel. +44 (0)20 8383 2210; email: k.humphries@imperial.ac.uk), Mr. S. Kumar (sailesh.kumar@imperial.ac.uk) (obstetrics & gynaecology); Dr. P. Nihoyannopoulos (petros@imperial.ac.uk) (echocardiography) or Dr. M.
